Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups gluten-free Rice Chex cereal
1 cup Amy's Gluten-Free Mix or store-bought gluten-free flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 large eggs
1 pound chicken tenderloins
3 cups vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Using your hands, crush the Chex into a large bowl, and add the gluten-free mix and the salt and pepper. Pour this mixture into a large roasting pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, and then dump the chicken pieces into the eggs.
  • Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet to 350°F. Place a brown paper bag on the counter next to where you are working so you can easily put the chicken on it to drain when you are done frying.
  • One piece at a time, dredge the chicken in the flour coating. I like to really press the coating onto the chicken so it gets a super crunchy bite. Start by frying one piece at a time. Remove from the oil after 3 to 4 minutes, when the tenders are golden brown. Place on the brown paper bag. Repeat, frying no more than 4 tenders at a time.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes and green beans.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken tenders turned out really tough. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

The chicken tenders were good, but the coating was a bit bland. I think I would add more spices next time.

These chicken tenders were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more oil to the pan next time.

These chicken tenders were a huge hit with my family! They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the gluten-free coating was a great option for my gluten-intolerant son. I will definitely be making these again!
